25 Weeks

Little fat fat is 25 weeks old and growing like a weed! He is trying so hard to crawl these days that it is making me a tiny bit sad. He is also figuring out if things are sturdy enough he will stand himself up (we officially had to lower his mattress in his crib).

I love this kid so much!

My sweet chubs.

He likes being rocked to sleep, 

cuddling with his mama,

his rattle, and

being carried in the moby.

He likes being naked,

staying awake even if he is tired,

bath time, and

seeing his daddy.

He has so much energy. He will also miss nap time if he isn't rocked to sleep.

We went to church yesterday and he went to nursery at his nap time, but he stayed wide awake and content, as long as they were holding him. It was so cute, but not once I got him in the car.

He also loves to scream when he wakes up if he wakes up alone.

I love him so much, he is also so close to rolling over. He tries so hard.

Little Xander is currently going through a growth spurt... so he has been sleeping a lot. He also keeps trying to roll over. It's adorable.

3 Months Old // 13.52

Little Man is now 3 months old!! 

Time has seriously flown. I know it's only three months, but still.. It's been three months. 

He weighs 17 lbs 2 ounces (SO GINORMOUS!!) and is still eating like a champ.

He wears size 3/6 and some 6 month clothes.

He drools all the time, therefore always needing to be wearing a bib.

He likes watching justice league and Adventure Time (the two that really catch his eye).

He has rolled over twice on his own and only needs two or three naps a day.

He is an extremely happy and smiley baby, it is so adorable. 

He has gotten to the point where he knows who I am and if he is with a stranger he stares at me and ends up wanting to come back to me. He also doesn't ever want me to put him down, which can be hard sometimes.

He is seriously so serious. He loves to try to pull up when he holds my fingers and he loves to keep going on and on. I can't believe he is almost 3 months old. Everything has changed so much and I love it. 

Right now he is laying on his play mat reaching for his toys. 

I have so much joy in my heart for my son. I have so much joy in my heart seeing his father with him. It's amazing.

I also can not believe we are moving already, again. It's absolutely crazy. So this next month is going to be a challenge, but I can make it. (:

 Fat babies are happy babies.. 

9.52 // First Beach Day

I love it! We had a wonderful time. We weren't there very long but it was very wonderful. I put his feet in the water and it was freezing and he started screaming and then stopped and acted like he enjoyed it. He keeps life happy.

6 weeks of pure bliss, well almost. I've had my ups and downs emotionally and having to deal with the abrupt change in motherhood has definitely kept me on my sleepy toes. I love it so much. I love him so much. Our little family.

It's been a really big adjustment to motherhood, really big and long. It's taken a lot out of me and has already taught me a lot. I wouldn't change it for the world. This boy has changed my world and ultimately has become the center of it, well him and his father. They make life so worth living and exciting and I can't wait to see where our journey in life takes us.  

This week, little man and I have been under the weather so we are trying to get better and resting often (:

52 Weeks of Alexander // Week 3

Here are a few photos from monkeys first official bath time. Not the best photos in the world because lighting was not on our side, but I definitely plan on getting more photos of bath times. 

I love this baby so much, he is my best friend, my son, my everything. Right now he is having gassy pains and I'm trying to figure out if their is anything in my diet that is causing it. Breastfeeding mamas, give me advice here!
